Centropolis plans sewer district with 768000 estimate
A Centropolis committee defines a sewer benefit district boundary north to Thomas Road east to near Iowa Road and south to Shawnee Road. Consultant Rob Garin from Kirk Michael engineers cites 768000 initial cost for gravity within the city and air pressure outside, plus a 2.5 acre three chamber lagoon. Funding may come from Community Development Block Grants Rural Development programs or state loans, with Rural Development requiring costs under 25 dollars per month per property. If needed, costs could shrink by reducing district size or altering system mix. Next step is circulating petitions from property owners representing at least 51 percent inside the district.
